TOY KITCHEN.

SPEGTFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,665, dated February 20, 1883. Application filedJuly 27, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIAS DURLAOH, a citizen ot the United States of North America, and a resident of Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toy Kitchens, of which the following is a specification.

As ordinarily constructed the shelves or dish-holders in tin toy kitchens are made in two piecesa flat rectangular piece for the shelf-bottom and a bent rod or wire for the guard, soldered, the latter above the former, to and in a corner or angle of the kitchenwalls. This method of construction adds con- Siderably to the cost of the cheap toy-and increases the number of parts that may be readily broken or distorted by use.

The object of this invention is to make a cheaper and stronger shelf, and thereby reduce the cost and increase the durability of the toy kitchen.

The invention consists of a shelf with a guard constructed of a single piece of metal.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, torming part of this specification, in which similar letters ofreference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1. represents in perspective a part ofa tin toy kitchen with my improved shelfin position. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my improved shelf. Fig. 3 is a blank of my improved shelf.

] v In the drawings, A represents a section or portion of a tin toy kitchen.

B represents the improved shelf, cut from a single piece of metal, in rectangular form. with a projection, a, at one end, that forms the extreme end of the guard, and with a recess or opening, I), made in it, as shown in Fig. 3, that separates or defines. the shelf-bottom O and theguard D. To form the shelf, the blank is bentat a right angle along its length, as shown at c, and the projection a is bent inward on a curve, as shown at d. The shell, being formed into shape, is then secured in place in the kitchen, as shown in Fig. l, by soldering it to the walls of the latter.

Having thus described n'iyinvenlion.lclnim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent An improved toy-kitchen shell with guard, constructed,substantially as hereinshown and described, from a single piece of metal, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 have signed my name,in presence of two witnesses, this 19th day of July, 1882.

ELIAS DURLAOH.
